Season 6 of HBO's hit fantasy series "Game of Thrones" returns in two months, and the hype machine is kicking into full gear with the actors making the rounds of late-night shows.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, the actor who plays Jaime Lannister on the series, was on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Thursday, where he dished on the one question on just about every fan's mind: What actually happened to Jon Snow?

"Everyone asks, [so] I kind of just preempt it now," Coster-Waldau said. "Whenever I meet someone, I just say 'Jon Snow is dead.' Listen, he was stabbed 50 times in the heart. He's dead."

For those who don't have the scene seared in their mind, when we last saw Snow in the Season 5 finale, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch was lying in a pool of his own blood. That's after a cadre of Night's Watchmen stabbed him in an act of mutiny because they didn't like Snow's stance on the wildlings. He was stabbed so many times that it's very unlikely he survived the attack, at least not without some special help.

Coster-Waldau isn't buying any of it, of course, and he's sided with Maisie Williams by taking an official stance that Snow is definitely dead. You can watch him banter with Kimmel about Snow in the clip above. In the clip below, he discusses how the show's story lines have finally surpassed the George R.R. Martin books, to the chagrin of the smug readers.
